The story of Ritual Chocolate began in a tiny 400-square-foot studio turned test kitchen in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, driven by a dream to change a broken industry. Back in 2008, the founders believed high-quality chocolate was hard to come by, with little transparency in how chocolate was made or how cacao beans were sourced. They chose the name Ritual as an homage to a time when cacao was deeply revered in the rituals and ceremonies of the Mayans, Aztecs, and Olmecs.

From the beginning, Ritual Chocolate set out to make a difference and have an impact, rooted in the belief that everyone deserves exceptional chocolate. Since those early explorations into the world of cacao, the company has grown from one mountain range to another, now operating a factory just outside Park City, Utah, where a passion for chocolate continues to drive the team each day. Their heart still beats for cacao, and they continue to build on what they’ve learned to create the best chocolate experience possible.
